Build process inquiries

How long does a bespoke Land Rover Defender build take?+

A complete ground-up custom build typically takes 8 to 12 months. This timeline ensures our master craftsmen can meticulously execute every phase of our 12-stage process, from bare-metal chassis preparation to the final hand-stitched leather interior.

Can I supply my own donor vehicle for restoration?+

No. Monarch builds every vehicle ground-up from our own donor, so we don't perform restorations on client-supplied vehicles. If you own a Defender, we may accept it as trade-in credit toward a new Monarch build. Contact our team to discuss.

What engine options do you offer for custom builds?+

We specialize in modern, high-performance powertrain integrations. We offer the GM LS3, LT1 and supercharged LT4 V8, paired with heavy-duty automatic transmissions, as well as EV builds, providing modern reliability and staggering power while maintaining the classic Defender aesthetic.
